IN August 1980 the United Nations Centre for Regional Development (UNCRD) launched a multinational comparative study on Regional Develop ment Alternatives in Predominantly Rural Societies. Eight countries were chosen for conducting case studies Nigeria and Tanzania in Africa; China, The Philippines and Indonesia in Southeast Asia; India and Bangladesh in South Asia; and Brazil in Latin America. The objective of this comparative study was to investigate how rural development policies and programmes. launched during the last two or three decades in different countries and contexts have affected the quality of life of various sections of the rural population and with what results. The intention was to identify those policies and development contexts which have enabled the rural poor to improve the quality of their lives, as well as those which have had a tendency to pull them backwards or to maintain the status quo. More specifically the objectives of the study were :
(a) to analyse the rural development policies, programmes and processes in a number of countries having different political, cultural and ecological settings with a view to understanding the implications of these on the development of man; (b) to study the development of various groups of people in specific development contexts and processes in specific locations in different countries so as to understand what happened to groups of
people in those development contexts;
(c) to carry out a cross-national comparative analysis of the results derived from (a) and (b) above with a view to : and
(i) understanding the relationship between national goals policies and rural development objectives ;
(ii) knowing the extent to which rural development policies and programmes were tied to a specific set of development scenarios;
(iii) knowing the extent to which rural development policies and programmes were based on regional and local ecology, culture and human skills; and
(iv) understanding the impact of policies, programmes and pro cesses on different groups of people in different development contexts and social, political and economic
